Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2486474A] A tractor unit 12 and a trailer unit 14 are connected by a connecting pin 33 on one unit 12, 14 which is in use received in an opening 21 in a connecting surface of the other unit 12, 14. The connecting pin 33 including a sensor device (70, Figure 3) to sense loads imposed on the connecting pin 33 as the trailer unit 14 tends to decelerate or accelerate relative to the tractor unit 12. A control system, including a controller (65, Figure 3) which receives signals from the sensor device (70) representative of loads imposed on the connecting pin 33 and at least one electrical motive machine (50, Figure 3) is controlled. The machine (50) being capable of being electrically driven by power from an electrical storage device to provide drive to drive at least one ground engaging wheel 45a, 45b and of generating electrical power for storage by an electrical storage device 58 such as to minimise the loads imposed on the connecting pin 33.
